With respect,one man who cheats and is found out and correct action was taken,should not take away from those who worked hard and qualified for the final.I had 4 lads travel all the way from AYR to fish and they all got through and deserved it,surely this is the dedication which so much has been spoken about that they have shown thiers.
The low numbers are showing in most of the major competitions and are down to many reasons,5 months of no fishing over winter,recession and lack of money flow and people have to be carefull what they choose to fish this year because of it.
It now has a year to prepare for the next year and Im sure it will be much improved on ,what was the first year.
at least it was 100 anglers who fished, when, if it wasnt there wouldnt have had the chance from the bank.
Dont go down the route of saying those who fished it were not good enough,as there was internationals fishing in it and plenty of very good anglers in it and have qualified quite within the true sport of competition and deserve it.
it is not about Sana,but the spirit of competition and those who wanted it and prepared to dedicate them selves and their own money to take part in it.
A cheat deserves all he gets,but talking of decent anglers in the same breath is wrong.
